The expression ”don't be fooled by
the name” has rarely been as appliable as here. If you expect
anything close to Kebnekajse violinist Mats Glenngård's first solo
album, the lovely ”Kosterläge” from 1972, then you'll be sorely
disappointed. This is closer to Kebnekajse's last album ”Vi drar vidare” which had Glenngård at the helm as Kenny Håkansson had
left the group by then. ”Vi drar vidare” is an insult to the
band's once glorious name, with limp fusion jazz, and that
goes for ”Violin Race” as well. This is an equally bloody awful
piece of shit, with fretless basses (and ”funky” slap bass),
appalling keyboards and even electronic disco handclaps, featuring
members of EGBA, Häxmjölk, Wasa Express and Hörselmat. It's almost
scary thinking that this is what an ex-member of one of the greatest
Swedish progg bands really had in him.
I hate this album so very much.
